<u>Answer:</u> The process is called as nuclear decay process.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear reaction are defined as the reactions in which nucleus of an atom is involved.

Isotopes under decay process in order to attain stability.

Unstable isotopes known as parent isotopes undergo various decay processes to form stable isotopes known as daughter isotopes.

The various decay processes are:

  • <u>Alpha decay:</u> In this process, alpha particle is released.
  • <u>Beta decay:</u> In this process, beta decay is released.
  • <u>Gamma decay:</u> In this process, gamma decay is released.

Hence, the process is called as nuclear decay process.

B

Explanation:

The compound in Option B is Methane.

Methane is known to be a compound which has two elements, carbon and hydrogen. It has a central atom which is surrounded by four hydrogen atoms. It's chemical formula is CH4.

Methane's outer atoms are dipoles and are in the same direction. This makes the overall molecule non-polar. The compound itself has non-polar bonds and it is non-polar itself.

What must happen to uranium before it can be used as a fuel source?
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Uranium must be purified before it is used as a fuel source

Explanation:

The purer the uranium sample, the more the concentration of uranium in the fuel is.

Whenever uranium is extracted from nature, it contains a lot of impurities. Only a few special nuclear reactors can utilize uranium in this raw state. most of the others have to get uranium to become about 3% pure before they begin using it.

To do this, uranium has to be passed through a series of chemical reactions all with the aim of extracting the other compounds that may be present in the fuel.
